I almost had the title as “Christmas Pictures… a horror story”, but I can’t really call it that. Everything ended up ok. It was just… an adventure. So, we did our Christmas pictures yesterday at WalMart Portraits Studios (home of the cheap packages and the really expensive extra picture sheets). The photographer had been recommended […]

The Youngest Critic Can Make All the Difference
November 4th, 2003 · Comments Off on The Youngest Critic Can Make All the Difference
It’s funny how much a toddler’s opinion can effect a person. Joel took off yesterday and we went to the zoo with some friends of ours and the three kids (Alexis, Branwen, and our friends’ 21 month old, Abigail). It was one of those great idea excursions that you start regretting as you’re trying to […]

John Donne… Hallelujah!
October 31st, 2003 · Comments Off on John Donne… Hallelujah!
Joel, my thoughtful husband, read my entry from last night and pointed me to John Donne’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls” essay. I believe I read this essay in highschool, but by now all I remembered from it were the two most quoted lines (and if you don’t remember them, go read the essay). Two […]

How are you supposed to react when you find out that someone you know only slightly has had a child die? I received a phone call today that a lady from my Bible study had to rush her 1 yr. old to the ER the other day, and then the child died. It was bacterial […]

And I only have two of them so far! Well, Branwen (the youngest) now has blood mixed in with the thick yellow goopy stuff that comes out her nose when I suction her. Lots of fun. I’ve been trying to call her doctor to ask if there’s anything I should do about it, but their […]

Chances are…
October 29th, 2003 · Comments Off on Chances are…
I was having a conversation with my husband last night about coincidence and chance. Now, before I go on, I should mention that I’m a conservative, evangelical, born-again, Bible believing Christian. This being the case, I’ve heard church people on numerous occassions say that there is no such thing as coincidence, and some even say […]

Because… why not?
October 27th, 2003 · Comments Off on Because… why not?
Well, my husband keeps trying to get me to journal, so this is as good a way as any, right? How to begin… I guess I’ll be typical and start with a little about me. I’m 27, the mother of a 2 yr. old and a 1 month old. I have a degree in Theatre […]

Branwen’s Birth Story
October 21st, 2003 · Comments Off on Branwen’s Birth Story
A couple of people have said they’d like details about Branwen’s birth, and Joel and I would like a written account of it so we don’t forget details down the line, so we decided that it might be good for me to post it in my blog. Fair warning to would-be readers, this account includes […]
